Is this possible?

Found some Solod on US ebay, $18 to the UK including shipping so I've bought that.

Good choice. I've found it on the UK ebay too without such high shipping costs I think. You can't convert crystal rye to real red rye malt.

It's red solod, right? Aka fermented solod. Just the word "solod" literally means "malt", so could be something else.

Sigh, I found that out after I ordered it. I've now ordered "red rye malt" from Russia. Might not be here for 6 weeks though

Did you order a wrong one? What was it?

I bought this first, but not red rye I'm guessing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/232683395633

Then I bought https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373647343186 which seems to be the right thing and cheaper than most of the rest, maybe the cheapest

Both are red rye malt! I got the same one as your first choice, it's Ukrainian. You have to see the name on the picture of the packaging, there is no detailed description otherwise...

Besides Borodinsky. Any suggestions?
